LeDomduVin: Bordeaux Soils

Bordeaux Soils

by @ledomduvin 2022

To complement the map of the soils of Bordeaux (previously posted, see 2nd picture also), I thought it would be interesting to see it from a different perspective, with a pedological view.

For those who may not know, Pedology is the study of the formation, characteristics, and distribution of soils (as they are naturally), as well as their evolution and theoretical framework for modeling soil bodies.

In short, understanding the soil composition and variations, as if you were looking at a vertical exposure of the layering soils (also called "Horizons").

I did this slide rather quickly, so it does not accurately reflect the layering of the soils of the left bank and right bank of Bordeaux, yet, it gives you a pretty good (even if rough) idea of it. 😁👍🍷

That's said, it is just a slide for a Bordeaux Wine Class, so it just needs to be friendly and eyes-catching, to prevent it from being boring. You get my point. 😉

Along with the maps and numbers, I've previously posted, I have created about 15 slides altogether to be used for a Wine Class on Bordeaux. I've tried to make them educational, informative, and easy to understand at first glance.

Hope you'll like them, and, maybe even learn something from them, you never know.

Cheers! Santé! Drink responsibly and take good care of yourself. 😁👍🍷
